8 Days? 13 Lights? 42 Hours?
- Discussion at Unfiction: thread
Quick Summary
(to be edited and expanded upon later)
July 11
- Many people received an email shortly before ARGFest:
From: 43616e2774476f5475SPLAT636f6d696e67736f6f6e.com
Subject: Eight days...
I have a little surprise waiting for you. Eight days doesn't seem too long, now, does it?
(P.S. Watch those cocktails!)
- Another:

If you Can'tGoTu my little surprise, maybe you could help find out more about it.
Oh, my domain (at weebly.com) should help.
- This led to 636f6d696e67736f6f6e.weebly.com displaying a countdown of eight days
- Under the countdown was:

Started
- Nighthawk noted that the hex codes convert to a C/C++ binary compilation
- There was also an image of a note:
July 12
- A new image puzzle was posted on weebly, which when solved led to Simulated_reality, specifically regarding CantGoTu
- The image contains text in the lower right, appearing to read:

July 15
- A sudoku puzzle appeared on weebly, along with some equations; the sudoku solution:
8 2 6 3 1 5 4 9 7 5 4 9 7 2 6 3 8 1 1 7 3 8 9 4 5 2 6 9 6 5 1 8 7 2 4 3 7 8 2 4 6 3 9 1 5 4 3 1 2 5 9 7 6 8 6 5 4 9 7 8 1 3 2 3 1 7 6 4 2 8 5 9 2 9 8 5 3 1 6 7 4
- Also this quote from William Gibson (ref):
"And for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer remotely human"
- However 'even' is missing from "no longer even remotely human"
- Also was the following phrase:
/as-umh-lud-wn-uonl.luro
- Which later updated to include:
/ws-boj-moi-uh-yipi.part
July 18
- At the ARGFest cocktail party, a 'madman' ran around battling nonsense. An envelope containing a video was retrieved from his pocket.
July 19
- A Haiku and latin paragraph was left in some rooms:
summer sun rises
reopening liberty
independence gained
aurum in pax
mare pacificum
ferreus in bellum
- The haiku was assumed to lead to the USS Constitution, but nothing was found. The second apparently refers to San Francisco - the latin converted to spanish is SF's motto
- The site 13lights.org was found. An email address and a small video told us to ask questions to 13@13lights.org. We had a 42 hour window to do so.
- After the 42 hour window was up, a new set of codes went up on 13lights. This pointed to the offices of 42 Entertainment in Pasadena, CA. After this was discovered the site was updated with a map to that location.
